Q: What does being an active citizen mean to you?

I encourage everyone to be an active citizen, for me, volunteering over many years with St John Ambulance SA, Rotary and on local school governing councils is how I engage as an active citizen.

Ward One.

Ward one covers the suburbs of Angle Vale, Buckland Park, Virginia, Eyre, Penfield, Penfield Gardens, MacDonald Park, Andrews Farm and Smithfield Plains; and part of the suburbs of Edinburgh North and Waterloo Corner.

Donating your time to community groups and organisations such as Playford Women’s Shed and Cos We Care is an opportunity to get to know your community. You can make long lasting friendships and hand out food to those in need.

Cr Cathy-Jo Tame | 0478 283 875

crcjtame@playford.sa.gov.au It means giving my time to help others and not expect anything in return, being involved in various local community groups and advocating on their behalf to secure better services. It also means being a part of local community events and sporting clubs.

Cr Peter Rentoulis (Deputy Mayor) 0417 016 146

crarentoulis@playford.sa.gov.au Being involved in sporting clubs, resident associations or charity organisations is important. This builds community connections and assists with providing much needed services to the more broader community. Nothing better than being involved and giving back.

Ward Two. Ward two covers the suburbs of Munno Para Downs, Munno Para West, Munno Para, Smithfield and Blakeview; and part of the suburb of Hillier.

It’s about what one values in life. I intentionally got involved in a local church and social groups / events and intentionally looked for ways I can be of assistance in the delivery of the service in a consistent safe manner to better the lives of the community.

Cr Stephen Coppins | 0478 283 876

crscoppins@playford.sa.gov.au Being an active citizen allows me to have my finger on the pulse of what is happening in my community. This occurs because I am a Councillor, Justice of the Peace and a Rotarian. I am in touch with the residents in my community.

Cr Andrew Craig | 0417 016 160

cracraig@playford.sa.gov.au While there are many in our community that tirelessly help out others from the goodness of their heart, it’s small acts of kindness from many that build Playford into being strong and united. From waving to your neighbour to helping out at your children’s local sporting club.

Cr Veronica Gossink | 0478 283 878

crvgossink@playford.sa.gov.au To me it means being part of your community, actively engaging with fellow residents and local organisations. A healthy community is an inclusive one where people come together for the greater good and contribute actively to achieve positive outcomes.
